This is one of those that I like smelling on other people but once I put it on, it smells just far too strong and old lady like at times. I do like some of the notes in it but I think the Aldehydes ruin it along with the hints of Sandalwood. Anyway, I get plenty of compliments especially from men whenever I wear this.

I have the QVC version, and it smells like Ivory soap on me. I wouldn't wear it outside but only to bed after a bath or shower. Sillage is extremely weak, and I can sense some aldehyde notes that almost borders on smelling like "old lady."

Good God this stuff has been around for a long time. And like so many others, it's been gutted. I will say this last version as shown in the picture is the most identical to the original. Which I like A LOT, but didn't love. I always loved Tova Nights better. Although the signature was nice too. My son always said it smells good, and my daughter said it is me, it smells like mom. I wish the IFRA would go and do something else. Sigh

Predominantly this is lavender and white musk.

The lavender is not sweet like a French lavender nor is it sharp like a Spike lavender; it is somewhere inbetween and a little pithy.

The musk is a clean musk; to my nose there is none of the pear/fruit like quality that some of the musks give nor is there a woody weight to the perfume that some musks give.

It has a peppery feel about it without it being a definite pepper note. Not too much in the way of base notes coming through so it stays simple but strangely addictive.

I used a lot of my bottle trying to see if I liked it or not and I like it enough to try the newer version of it.

Bottle circa 2010/2011 after QVC bought the rights.

I am so in love with this perfume! Smells soo delicate and well, "luminous", wonderful and glorious! I smell a lot of lavender, bergamot and teensy bit of musk that is not overpowering. All of these are perfectly balanced with each other and creates a wonderful elixir of deliciousness. Love Love Love this!!!!

Yes, Signature is predominantly a musk - at least the one I've got which I think is the latest incarnation.
I see that it is indeed slightly reminiscent of JLo Glow, as someone else said.
If you look on the QVC's, UK & US, you'll see very mixed reviews for this, as apparently the 80s one was stronger/better for a lot of people.
I see what they mean by weak for a supposed EDP strength but I think, as someone said on QVC US, that you may not find it strong on yourself but it does project and others do notice it.
It does also have quite an oily texture.
For me, the musk element of Signature is more predominant than the 'clean' White Linenish aspect, which you do catch a lovely whisper of once in a while as you wear it.
Overall, I quite like Signature, it's a welcome addition to my wardrobe as I was so bored of everything I have already and wanted something a bit different.

I have several bottles of the original black lidded, frosted bottle Tova, a couple of Signature Royal and a couple of the newest Tova Signature in the tall slim bottle with the gold cap and little bow on the neck. Personally, I ADORE them all! While I will trust that there are subtle differences in the scents, if only for the fact that good ol' fragrance laws (?!?!?) have made certain ingredients illegal. (Thank you, Big Brother, for saving us from ourselves...)

But to my rather unrefined nose, these all smell delightful! Soft, confident, sexy. Clean with a dash of raunchy musk to keep it interesting.

The past 3 days, I have worn the tall slim Tova Signature and all 3 days men have told me how wonderful I smell. Two of them wanted to know what it was. I wear many different wonderful fragrances but sometimes I wonder if those fragrances are wearing me rather than me wearing them. I never feel that way when I wear any of my Tova's.

On my skin, the longevity is amazing! I put this on 17 hours ago. Four sprays, two on my torso and two on my back. Even after that many hours which includes an hour long run on a treadmill, I can still smell it on myself.

I've worn Tova Signature since its original formulation - back circa 1990....right through the various iterations (when QVC bought Tova Borgnine's company out and used a different perfumer and what seemed to be different/cheaper source notes)....Now I've purchased the latest iteration which has a burnished gold top with a dark bow and is suppose to smell as close to the original as possible (considering the strict laws now about certain source notes).

This is a nice formula, but is more of a hint of what the original Tova Signature smelled like back in the day. It's not bad though and if you like a light, skinscent that's mostly lavender, sandalwood and musk you might enjoy this.

Far & away different from the original. It seems when they added the aldehydes, something went haywire. I loved the original--it was soft, different, long-lasting and never gave me a headache. The same can't be said for the new version. It's more of a strong chemical than a perfume.

My mother adores this fragrance. Smells very clean, expensinve, floral and really does cling. Unfortuately for me the very heavy handed aldehydes are unrelenting and cause me to have a stinking headache. I do love to smell it on my mother though.

Chic in the bottle.I love how it's just cover me a soft powdery cloud all day.It's light but very complex smell on my skin. I feel the pure feminity when I'm wearing it.Beautiful from the opening until the end.:)
I found some similarities with The Body Shop White Musk.

This is a classic. It's very powdery-soapy. A perfume close to it would be Estee Lauder White Linen. Signature has a great staying power and can be too overwhelming. When I had it, I found it interesting. By now I wouldn't buy it anymore, because it's so strong and clean. In the meanwhile there are some variations out. I like "Signature Autumn" most. My favourite Tova scent is "Body Mind Spirit" nevertheless.
